14 DAY TRIAL // Hackers of the RedHack group claim to have breached the systems of three major telecoms companies: TTNET, Vodafone and Turkcell. The personal details of hundreds of individuals have been leaked from the servers of TTNET, Turkey’s largest Internet service provider.
The hacktivists say they’ve obtained large amounts of information. However, the data they’ve published online allegedly belongs to Turkish officials and other government employees, including ones from the country’s National Intelligence Organization, the General Directorate of Security, and various ministries.
This first round of data allegedly comes from the systems of TTNET. Over 600 records have been leaked, including names, ID numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, billing addresses, and service package details.
More information will be published in the upcoming days, the hackers said.
“Ordinary public membership details will not be shared as a matter of principle,” RedHack representatives stated. “In the coming days we'll continue with those exploiting the country. No public information will be shared. Our people can be at ease.”
The hacktivists are currently in the process of selecting the data they’re about to leak. Their targets are security forces, intelligence, military and judiciary personnel. Basically, RedHack says anyone who “commits injustices” is their next target.
“Purpose of this action is to prove no one and no system is %100 secure,” the hackers noted.
RedHack has dedicated this attack to Ali Ismail Korkmaz, a man killed in June 2013 during the Gezi protests.
It will be interesting to see what the hackers leak from Vodafone. On the other hand, it’s not the first time RedHack targets Turkcell. Back in mid-January, they leaked the phone numbers of more than 4,000 individuals who worked for the telecoms company.
Turkish authorities have been desperately trying to track down the members of the RedHack, but so far, they haven’t managed to dismantle the group, despite arresting numerous people allegedly linked to it.
